Yes you can develop Insomnia. I developed it at 14. I don't have Fatal Familial Insomnia as IiBuzzShot mentioned but I do have bad Insomnia. Most of the time Insomnia develops from Anxiety, Stress, and Medical conditions(There are other ways it develops these are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head)

That sounds horrible man!! Is your insomnia sever, how many nights do you sleep a week?

Sleep? I wish -_- Before I used to get 2 nights of sleep a week or about 3 hours a day if I'm lucky, but this time it has been 4 days and some hours with no sleep. I wouldn't say it's severe Insomnia as I'm not hallucinating or having slurred speech or any of that but I just cannot go to sleep.

I lasted 3 days without water and I thought that was bad! I guess he had a lot of will to survive.

I haven't even lasted 24 hours maybe because he was so scared for his life his adrenaline played the past of water(if that's even possible?).

Narco wrote Water: 8-14 Days
Food: 3 Weeks
Sleep: Natural life span, your body forces you to fall asleep again, longest time spent awake: 18 days.
Air: 3 Minutes

Also, people survive extreme things all the time.
A newborn baby was buried alive and survived, and a newborn baby girl had her throat cut, thrown into a garbage can and survived.

The will to live is stronger than most think.

well I dont know about the rest of your information but humans can live for longer than 3 minutes without air, some may pass out, but people can hold there breath for alot longer.
that is just one of the people I know that can hold their breath
